Freedom Hall

In addition to the great playing throughout this first set, you can grin at the several musical references to the Derby that the boys threw in.

Light first half of a titanic encore. The anniversary's coming up, might as well give the show a listen...

I know most folks are indifferent re this song, but this type of mid-tempo bouncing shuffle is one of the things I love most about this band.

Nice version! Tempo is different from the ones I'm most familiar with (77-ish), but I like this, and Jerry plays some interesting lines over the chord changes.

Heard some of the hype around this show and was expecting more, but it's a decent version.

I don't know if I'll vote for it yet, but this is one of a few performances in the first part of this set that I dug.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Dec. 27, 1983
Civic Auditorium

Absolutely worth a listen, if only because it's so unexpected.
